CarbonTV’s Original Series American Elements Picks Up Two Prestigious Telly Awards

DETROIT, July 14, 2016 – CarbonTV’s breakout
original series American Elements
takes home two prestigious Telly Awards – one for the web series as a whole and
a People’s Choice award for its standout episode featuring Travis Meadows, who Rolling Stone calls “Nashville’s most badass songwriter”.

“We’re honored
to be recognized with not one, but two, prestigious Tellies for our original
series American Elements,’ says
Daniel Seliger, Executive Vice President of Content and Marketing at CarbonTV.
“To earn this award among the industry’s finest speaks to the caliber of content
CarbonTV produces, and we’re excited to continue advancing the way online video
content is created and distributed.”

The American
Elements series authentically profiles unique personalities from America’s
heartland, such as Taya Kyle, wife of American
Sniper Chris Kyle; Cameron Hanes, a prominent bow-hunting athlete; and
Chuck Testa, a taxidermist and YouTube sensation. The awards come at the heels
of new releases debuting later this month, which will feature mixed martial
artist and avid outdoorsman Chad Mendes and Chris Soules, known as “Prince
Farming” from Season 19 of ABC’s The
Bachelor.

film productions as well as online video, films and commercials. Winners
represent the best work by the most respected production companies, television
stations, cable operators, advertising agencies, and corporate video
departments in the world.

For its
37th season, The Telly Awards will once again give the public the power to view
and rate videos submitted as part of the People’s Telly Awards.In addition to recognition from the Silver
Telly Council, the judging panel that selects the Telly Awards winners, the
Internet community helps decide the People’s Telly Awards winners.

A
prestigious judging panel of more than 500 accomplished industry professionals,
each a past winner of a Silver Telly and member of The Silver Telly Council,
judge the competition, upholding the historical standard of excellence that
Telly represents. The Silver Council evaluated entries to recognize distinction
in creative work – entries do not compete against each other – rather, entries
are judged against a high standard of merit. Less than 10 percent of entries
are chose as Winners of the Silver Telly, the highest honor.

“The Telly
Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day,
Executive Director of the Telly Awards. “CarbonTV’s accomplishment illustrates
their creativity, skill and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament
to great film and video production.”
